Subject: General Awareness | Topic: Science | Difficulty: MEDIUM

Options

1. (A) Both the magnitude of the force and the time for which the force is applied determine the change in momentum.
2. (B) Only the direction of motion changes the momentum.
3. (C) Only the magnitude of the force is sufficient to determine the change.
4. (D) Only the mass of the car determines the change in momentum.

Verified Answer

Option (A): Both the magnitude of the force and the time for which the force is applied determine the change in momentum.
